I am a newly retired employee of the State of New Jersey, Superior Court in Hackensack. Over my 31 years of working with attorney’s daily, I can honestly say that Katherine Houghton is among the finest attorney’s I know and trust, to get the job done. I speak from personal experiences. Over the span of many years both my husband and I were confronted with disputes requiring legal representation. Truthfully, Katherine resolved all our proceedings with great success. I would be remiss, not to mention Katherine’s partner Nicholas Delaney. Like Katherine, Nicholas has many of his own case files, but it is very reassuring to know that this team, works collectively to provide all their clients with successful results. I have always appreciated the highly qualified support staff. Their pleasant manner and knowledge has always been very helpful.

I hired Nicholas from the Law Services of Houghton Delaney PC for a legal matter and Nicholas went above and beyond fixing the mess of a previous lawyer. I was very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend their services.

I called the Law Office to speak to them about my wrongful termination of employment case and immediately spoke to a lawyer - who was a breath of fresh air. He not only answered the phone himself, he was extremely knowledgeable, sincere, listened, asked questions, and then went above and beyond to help me locate the best person to help me with my complex case. They immediately made me feel like I was family and I knew I was in good hands. This is not like any other law firm; their genuine compassion and empathy was unlike anything I have ever experienced. I highly recommend their team to anyone who is looking for a lawyer.

Katherine and her team were wonderful. They made a horrendous situation bearable.. She was with me every step of the way. Katherine and her team are honest, responsive and respectful of even delicate situations. I cannot thank her and her staff enough.

Katherine's mere presence speaks volumes of her ability to accomplish what she sets out to do. In my opinion, you won't find a better attorney. She believed that we would win my case and very quickly I believed also and we won! If there is a Top Attorney award, Katherine should be presented with such accolades. I now recommend Katherine to everyone who is in need of her services. Thank you Kate!

I ask God to head me to an attorney that would take my case personal. I went to a website and her picture and statement stood out. Katherine was very compassionate and more importantly she listened to what I had to say. She was able to somehow get me to remember things about the case that I had forgotten. She was/ is a force to be reckoned with. In the end, she became a friend, so much so that I recommended my sister to her and what she did for the both of us surpassed our dreams!!!

Ms. Houghton was very knowledgeable on the topic of illegal apartments. She informed me of what my rights are and what my next steps should be. Ms. Houghton put me at ease and even let me know that if I needed anything to contact her again. I will be handling this matter on my own but if I need a lawyer I am DEFINITELY calling Ms. Houghton. Overall I was very pleased with the conversation.

In my opinion, there is only one New Jersey Attorney to seek for a personal injury case, Katherine Houghton. I sought the legal services of Katherine G. Houghton on behalf of my parents for a personal injury case. Kate is an attorney of rare breed. She is compassionate and caring about the situation and health of her clients, all-the-while tenacious in pursuing the best course of action that provides compensation to ameliorate pain people who are victims of others negligence that ultimately changes their lives forever. She was also determined in seeking fair compensation to get my parents financial situation back on track. Thank you Kate.

My sister recommended Katherine Houghton to me because she felt Katherine was quite unique, given her high level of personal service, accessibility to clients and because she was a great attorney who worked tenaciously on behalf of her clients. Katherine was all that and a lot more. I sought Katherine Houghton's service for a personal injury case for which we were successful. She was a terrific advocate on my behalf and I felt like I always had a legal super hero at my side.
